Weigh What You Say!

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #569 From The Sales Doctor
Weigh What You Say!
This is another tip that I took from my Daily Devotional that has benefits for work and home.
When it comes to the tongue there are three basic rules:
Don’t speak too quickly.
Don’t respond too quickly.
Don’t commit too quickly.
These three rules can be summed up with another well-known rule. Think before you speak and think before you act.
Your time and your words are two things that can never be taken back, so carefully weigh what you say.

IMPORTANT FURNITURE GUILD – PRICE INCREASE EFFECTIVE 12/1/21

** PLEASE NOTE WE WILL HAVE A PRICE INCREASE THAT WILL GO INTO EFFECT ON 12/1 **

 Good Morning! Please note that TFG will release  an updated price list on their website effective December 1st. If you have clients that you are working with that have not committed to an order, this might help you close the sale before new pricing goes into effect.
 Due to an increase in price from some of the main material suppliers, the following will be effected: 

  • Decorative Hardware and Metal Accents – there will be a 5-10% increase in some, but not all
  • Metal Bases – 5% Increase (we have not had an increase in over 2 years)
  • Lighting, Electrical and Interior Options – There will be an increase on all, with the exception of Glass Dividers and the coordinating inserts
  • Guildcrete – Due to material costs, there will be a 10% increase (It needs to be more but we are hopeful things will settle down next year) Keep selling! It’s a great product!
  • Quartz & Stone Tops – There will be an increase
  • Fireclay – No change in pricing, however supply is an issue and we will be discontinuing the Fireclay tops once sell through what we have. (We currently have a bunch of 25” 3 hole tops)

 ** In preparation for the pricing increase, please note the expiration dates on all custom quotes. All newly requested custom quotes will have an expiration date of 11/30 unless it is requested that we go ahead and price with the new pricing. As soon as the new price list is available, we will send you the link.

We Repeat What We Don’t Repair!

Sales Tip #568 From The Sales Doctor
“We Repeat What We Don’t Repair!”
– Christine Langley-Obaugh
I saw this quote by Christine Langley-Obaugh, who is trained in both Life Stress Reduction and Traumatic Incident Reduction.

We all know that stress is a silent killer.

It’s extremely difficult to perform at your peak if there is something or somethings creating stress in your life.

I also thought about how this quote applies to the way we communicate. If you don’t repair certain communication techniques that you are using, you will continue to repeat them and get the same negative results.

Thanks, Christine Langley-Obaugh, for that reminder that we will continue to repeat what is not repaired.
